Call...... It's hot enough! ”

Cao Hong said helplessly while waving a valuable bone jade folding fan.

The folding fan, under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, as soon as it appeared, it was loved by many scribes, and everyone was proud of having an elegant folding fan.

Yes, the folding fan is a representative of a gentleman in their eyes. Nowadays, the folding fan is almost rotten, but a good folding fan is still a symbol of the status of the scribe.

Of course, even if Cao Hong holds a good folding fan, he will not be a scribe, and with his copper smell, it may be a reckless man to exalt him.

Cao Hong can now be said to be the largest family under Cao Cao, and there is a saying that goes like this - we don't have anything, we just have money!

But does Cao Hong really have an extraordinary talent for business?

Definitely!

Guy has Cao Cao, who is in power and in the opposition, as a backer!

Who under Cao Cao didn't sell Cao Hong's face? Even merchants in other places, as long as they had business dealings with Cao Cao, would give face or two to show favor to Cao Cao.

"Hey~"

Cao Hong raised his eyebrows with his palms and looked out of the city, but he couldn't help but sigh and went back to the city gate tower to rest.

"It's been two days, why hasn't the Ming army even seen a figure? Is it because you are afraid of the general? Cao Hong's nephew said in a weird way.

"Less sycophants!"

Cao Hong's eyelids rolled, folded the fan, nodded the head of the nephew, and said: "If the Ming army is really as unbearable as you say, how can it be as famous as the prime minister?" ”

It's Cao Hong!

In the future, Cao Hong will be shameless!

Cao Hong's nephew didn't care, "hehe" smiled, and continued: "Then general, what kind of conspiracy do you explain to the army?" Could it be that you want to come to an inside-out meeting? ”

If Gongsun Du was here, would he shout - "Who is this, who can actually anticipate the opportunity!" ”

However, Cao Hong knocked his nephew hard with a feather fan and said, "Don't play your little eyes at this time!" It's good that we can get ninety percent of other people's property, but if we force so many families to die at once, even if the prime minister doesn't say anything, others will gossip. ”

"What's this, directly accusing him of collaborating with the enemy is, who would dare to resist!"

Cao Hong's nephew muttered.

"Bang~"

"Ouch~"

Cao Hong pulled the fan again, but in the end, he was worried that the fan would be broken, so he quickly put it in front of his eyes and took a closer look, and saw that it was not damaged, so he said: "Although there is no problem in doing this, but when we go to other cities in the future, those families may have other hearts." ”

I have to say that Cao Buyan is still a little scheming, and he is a big scheming man.

"That's it~"

Cao Bei clearly saw the reluctant look in his nephew's eyes, and couldn't help but slap it again, and then looked at it distressedly.

After confirming that it was still intact, and complaining in his heart that "the quality is really good", Cao Hong said: "Okay, although you can't do it as you said, you have to guard against it." Let people be optimistic about the Huang family, the Zhang family and others who went to Zhuo County back then, but if there is any trouble, they will report it immediately. ”

Cao Hong's nephew's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said loudly: "Yes, general!" ”

"What are you doing, scare Lao Tzu!"

Cao Bei patted his chest with a face, breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that his nephew wanted to leave, and said uneasily: "Don't mess around, otherwise if something goes wrong, Ben will be the first to open the knife with you." ”

"Uh...... Yes, General! ”

Cao looked at the back of his nephew leaving, and felt inexplicably uneasy, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything in the end.

Soon, an afternoon passed, and the figure of the Ming army was still missing, if it weren't for the disappearance of all the spies sent out, Cao Buyan probably wanted to wonder if the Ming army had left.

"Everyone should pay attention at night, the Ming army has not shown up for two days, maybe it is because everyone has a way to defend, so it is likely that they are waiting for everyone to relax their vigilance now, and then come to a fatal blow."

"Yes, General!"

Cao didn't want to say a few words, then went down to the city gate tower and went to the house.

Following.

Cao's long-awaited Ming army appeared, and it appeared early in the morning.

Cao looked at the sun in the east, which only showed a small half, and muttered, "So early? ”

"Kill~"

The Ming army didn't care about this, and rushed to the city wall with a roar, Cao didn't dare to think about it facelessly, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to defend. First, the rain of arrows attacked from afar, and in just two waves, the Ming army arrived at the city, and quickly changed the rolling stone and sasswood......

Puyang City is strong and thick, and Cao Hong has been preparing here for a long time, and the materials for defending the city are sufficient, and when the sun is on the three poles, the Ming army can only kill the head of the city, and then it retreats like a tide in a sound of gold.

Seeing the Ming army retreat, Cao Beiyan really pinched a cold sweat, when the Ming army killed the city just now, he thought he couldn't hold it!

Why retreat at this time?

Cao looked up at the sun with no face, wiped a handful of hot sweat again, and suddenly realized.

Counting the number of people, the defenders lost nearly 1,000 of them, and more than half of them were killed in battle, but the corpses of the Ming army under the city were no more than 100 in total.

In the afternoon, the sun turned west, and the Ming army once again led troops to attack, and it was attacked from three sides.

Frightened, Cao was embarrassed and thought that the Ming army had decided to take the city in one fell swoop after the morning's temptation, and hurriedly sent all the horses in the city up.

After about three hours of fierce fighting, with losses of more than 2,000, the Ming army was finally repelled again.

"Uncle, the Ming army is really fierce, and the little nephew underestimated them before."

Cao didn't care about the title of his nephew, nodded and responded, "That's right!" You can see that their bows and arrows are shot very accurately, even if we are the side defending the city, their cavalry can suppress us so that we dare not block it with all our strength, otherwise the Ming army will never be able to approach the city wall so easily. Moreover, you look at their armor, the defense is amazing, most of their losses are due to the rolling stone and wood smashing, falling to the ground and dying, if it is just injured, it will be carried away immediately, it is really difficult to kill it. ”

Cao's shameless nephew nodded, and only spoke again after a long time, but before that, he looked around first, and when he saw that there was no one, he whispered: "Then uncle, do you think we can really hold here?" ”

Cao was stunned at first, then glared at his nephew and said, "Do you know what you're talking about?" ”

"You are shaking the morale of the army, and you are going to be beheaded!"

"Don't say it again, you know?"

Cao Don't want to be faced, and he knows the severity, but he didn't speak loudly, just warned in a low voice. The nephew replied with a little emotion: "Yes, not in the future." ”

Cao shamelessly patted his nephew's shoulder with satisfaction, and then ......

A sad face on his face!

Although the words of the nephew are suspected of shaking the morale of the army, the reason is that reason.

After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't come up with a reason, Cao couldn't face it and could only comfort himself: It's okay, it's okay, as long as you hold on for a few days, the prime minister must have received the news and sent troops to support. Just stick to it for a few days!

The invincible posture of the Ming army has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!

Night.

Cao was shameless for a day, and soon fell asleep.

"Enemy Attack~"

I don't know when, there was a sudden uproar in the city, Cao Bei's face was awakened, his eyes were full of darkness, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked.

"What's going on?"

"General, it's not good, the enemy is coming into the city!"

"Shenma?" Cao Buyan's originally stunned gaze cleared, and he exclaimed, so that his voice changed.

"General, the Ming army came in at night."

Cao shameless quickly put on his clothes, put on his armor with the help of his own soldiers, took the blade, and walked out of the room.

"From which gate did the Ming army come in? Why hasn't there been any news before? Cao Buyan only came to his senses at this time, and immediately asked with some annoyance.

"I don't know, General! Just now, the city was suddenly full of shouts of killing, and there was a mess. ”

The words of the pro-soldier made Cao stunned and said, "Are you sure you said something wrong?" As he spoke, he plucked out his ears, as if he was worried that he had misheard.

"I don't know!" The soldiers were about to cry.

"General!" At this time, Cao's shameless nephew also rushed over, and he was a step slower because he was wearing his own armor.

"Let's go!"

Cao glanced at him facelessly, said "follow me", and gave an order to rush to the direction of the mansion.
